    Freaking Out the Checkout Girl at Wal-Mart (on accident)

    4 in the morning in a WalMart is barely a "public place". ;-) And the only attention you're going to draw (as noted by the OP) is going to be from REALLY interesting people, or totally clueless losers (like the person who made the "contraband" remarks. Ignore the clueless obnoxious ones and...

    Shake, Stir, Heat, Vibrate or let it sit?

    Actually, before I got my USC, I was seriously considering getting a vibratory tumbler. I figured I could fit piece of dense foam inside it, drill that foam with holes to fit my bottles snugly, and set them in the foam. That way, the lids would be much less likely to come off, and I could use...

    Octo coil proof of concept

    You definitely want to double- and triple--check your math to make sure you've got the amperage load worked out correctly. Too many amps draw will ruin your battery, and not in a pretty way. Seems like you've done your homework, just wanted to remind some of the other folks watching this thread...

    Going to start my first mod this week. Design rough draft.

    Mamu designed a plastic bezel for the DNA-20 that you can order from a company that does 3-D printing, in various colors, for under $5. That may help mount the screen in a tube, if you are still considering that design... Mamu's DNA20D Screen Cradle by bapgood on Shapeways

    Newbies, and "Zapping"...

    Well, she was having multiple issues with her Provari. First, was the "zapping" issue, which we figured out was actually hot juice being sputtered. We figured out that it was caused by an over-filled carto, and running too high a voltage setting. In her attempt to use less power, she was NOW...

    bump evertime you buy something new...

    I ordered 2 X8 locking carto tanks, some Octopus RDAs and other small parts from FastTech this weekend. I also got a DID and another X8 on the ECF Classifieds. Hopefully they will all be in by the end of the week, but the stuff from FastTech will probably take a little longer, because it's...

    FastTech is all the Buzz!!!

    I posted an order with them this weekend, and am looking forward to receiving it. I'll give a full report on it when it comes in, but judging by other people's reports, I'm sure I'll be very happy with their service...

    Newbies, and "Zapping"...

    I met with Schnoodle this afternoon in person, and we got her problems all worked out. She really is a new vaper, and has no real in-person support, and didn't know much about the local vaping community in the DC/Baltimore area. But I think that I set her on the right path, and her purchase...

    Just got zapped by pro-vari

    I have found that there is one nearly sure solution to the "sputtering carto" problem--use a non-metal drip tip. That extra 3/4" or so of distance that a drip tip adds, and the shape of the base of a drip tip seems to block those hot sputtering droplets of juice--even from the most sputtery...

    Huzzah! I think I assimilated someone into the vaping world.

    Awesome story! Congrats on not only bringing a new vaper into the flock, but having the courage to share vaping with someone. Plus you get the dded bonus of knowing you are helping her deal with her stress in a much less risky way!

    Killer 705 Clone from madvapes (Terminator RDA) for $11.99

    I just set up my newly-acquired Phiniac Phineer with my second Terminator, topped it with a Citrine CherryVapes Ming, and filled it with some AiV "Sweet Tease", and set my eVic to 7.1watts. Not only does it look AMAZING, it vapes like nobody's business. Woofity, woof woof...

    melted tank and tongue feels funny

    Dude, I hate to break it to you, but the taste of champagne has 0% to do do with the material from which the container one is drinking form is made, as long as that material isn't leaching weird flavors or smells. The perceived "flavor" of champagne (or any wine) is more than 50% based on the...

    Killer 705 Clone from madvapes (Terminator RDA) for $11.99

    For folks who are interested in rebuilding the coils on these attys, a supply of spare ceramic cups is a MUST. 405 Vaperz (in Oklahoma) has pre-made wicks and coils, already installed in the ceramic cups for $2.99 each: eBaron Dripper Pro Replacement Heads - 405 Vaperz Atmistique (in Athens...

    Well, that explains why my first batch of Boysenberry juice was so nasty... :shock:

    RDA Experiment - Wickless Dripping - Working Concept

    This sounds like a good idea, but as is shown in the photo, I think such setup is going to cause a LOT of sputtering. Getting hot droplets of juice thrown into your mouth probably won't make for good vape... ;-) If you just put a coil of wick in the bottom of your RDA, and then set such a...

    Just got zapped by pro-vari

    Schnoodle, check your PMs for info on local (and not-so-local) vape meets. I HIGHLY recommend vape meets for new vapers. You can't go wrong with a restaurant full of vapers--many of whom are experts in various vape-related topics--and vendors giving away free stuff!

    Just got zapped by pro-vari

    Well, actually, no they haven't. They've just gone away or fallen silent. :facepalm: It's the "nice folks" who finally stepped forward to help, and the delay was probably because they were busy in other threads helping other people with other problems--because that's what "nice folks" do...

    melted tank and tongue feels funny

    I have just about EVERY "berry" that TFA makes--Raspberry, Blackberry, Boysenberry, Strawberry (no blueberry yet), and I can tell you that they are all very concentrated, and that 20% is probably WAY too much flavoring. Boysenberry seems to be ESPECIALLY strong, and I haven't been able to make...

    Shake, Stir, Heat, Vibrate or let it sit?

    I'm going to order some small (250ml) Erlenmyer flasks from American Science & Surplus for mixing juices and ultrasonic steeping, since the consensus seems to be that glass would be better in a USC than plastic bottles, because glass won't absorb the ultrasonic waves like plastic will...
